Since January, seven Southwest Detroit robotics teams have been designing, programming, and building their robots in preparation for the FIRST Robotics competitions. The organizer of the competition named “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” facilitates over 200 competitions a year. Through this they hope to expand youth access to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) globally.

The district competitions took place on March 29th at Renaissance High School, where teams from Western International High School, Academy of the Americas, Cesar Chavez Academy High School, Detroit Cristo Rey High School, Voyageur College Preparatory High School, Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation and Hope of Detroit Academy competed against 40 other teams for a spot at the state competition.

From these teams, AOA, CCA, and DCRHS advanced to the state championships at Saginaw Valley State University on April 5th. There, they competed alongside 160 of Michigan’s top teams. At the state competition, CCA earned a spot in the coveted World Championships. These championships will be held on April 19, in Houston, Texas, where CCA will compete with over 1,000 robotics teams from nearly 60 countries.

The theme of this year’s competition was “Reefscape,” focusing on ocean preservation. Teams were tasked with collecting coral (white pipes) and placing them on four levels of a reef, harvesting algae (teel balls) on their processors and nets, and hanging their robots on barge cages.

To complete these complex tasks, teams designed a series of specialized mechanisms, including elevators to lift coral up to 40 inches high, limelight detectors to align with QR codes, grippers to lift and place algae and coral, and specialized wheels for mobility.

Each team divided itself by responsibilities such as programming, mechanical work, robot driving and business operations. Anthony Sanchez, a student from Western International High School‘s Mechanical Pumas team explained that team members as young as 14 often self-learn complex coding languages like JavaScript and C++ to program their robots. The driving team who ensures the robot moves swiftly and effectively across the arena utilize transformed gaming controllers and joysticks to move their robot. The mechanical team uses sophisticated software like Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and tools such as mills, latches, drills, and saws for manufacturing and assembling the robot’s features. Lastly, the business team focuses on fundraising, grant writing, merchandise design, and outreach.

Fernando, a member of the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation’s REC’in Crew team shared that the various opportunities in robotics allow team members to “transition between different parts of the team and discover what they’re passionate about.”

Mahmoud Badih, a math teacher at Hope of Detroit Academy, emphasized the importance of the variety of skills needed to compete, explaining that Southwest Detroit students need more exposure to different career opportunities. He says, “Most students will say that they want to work in construction with their family, but then they’re introduced to engineering, coding, and business.”

For many students, robotics opened doors to new career interests. Marisol is a member of AOA’s Tech Tigers and will be the first in her family to go to college. She says that robotics sparked her interest in engineering, a career she hopes to pursue after graduation. Similarly, Anthony Sanchez from Western International High School’s team was able to work on both the mechanical and business sides of robotics. This, he says, helped him realize that while engineering wasn’t for him, business was.

Apart from career introduction and skills development, robotics also allows students to develop “life skills,” says Marisol Techworth, the Youth Engagement Director at DHDC. She explains that robotics helps youth develop essential skills such as “overcoming failure, solving problems, and communicating and collaborating with others.”

Many students have also used robotics as a way to give back to the community. Tania Barba and Alex Montesinos are members of  Detroit Cristo Rey’s Kinematic Wolves team and helped found the Motor City Alliance. Through this program, they help extend access to STEM and robotics education to over 100 robotics teams in Detroit. They facilitate week-long summer programs and camps, teach 3D printing, computer design, and programming, and work with boards and councils in the Detroit Public Schools Department to advocate for more STEM classes and programs in Detroit middle and high schools.

These students are not just building robots; they are building and strengthening the future of our community. By devoting countless hours to their craft, sometimes working until 7 or 9 PM after classes, they are developing essential skills for success. Their accomplishments highlight the importance of investing in our youth and believing in their potential.

Cesar Chavez’s Aztech Eagles are only an example of how support, mentorship, and funding can change the lives of youth. They have worked countless hours to earn their spot in the World Championships. Now they will compete in Houston, Texas on April 19th along with 1,000 other robotics teams. EL CENTRAL will follow them on their journey and report their experience.

Equipos de robótica en el suroeste de Detroit obtienen reconocimiento en competencias distritales, estatales y mundiales.

Desde enero, siete equipos de robótica del suroeste de Detroit han diseñado, programado y construido sus robots, preparándose para las competencias FIRST Robotics. El organizador de la competencia, denominada “Para la inspiración y el reconocimiento de la ciencia y la tecnología”, facilita más de 200 competencias al año. Con esto, esperan ampliar el acceso de los jóvenes a las disciplinas STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas) a nivel mundial.

Las competencias distritales se llevaron a cabo el 29 de marzo en la escuela secundaria Renaissance. Allí, equipos de la escuela Western International, la Academia de las Américas, Cesar Chávez Academy, la escuela Detroit Cristo Rey, la escuela Voyageur College Preparatory, la Corporación de Desarrollo Hispano de Detroit y la Academia Hope of Detroit compitieron contra otros 40 equipos por un lugar en la competencia estatal.

De estos equipos, AOA, CCA y DCRHS avanzaron al campeonato estatal en la Universidad Saginaw Valley State el 5 de abril. Allí compitieron junto a 160 de los mejores equipos de Michigan. En la competencia estatal, CCA se ganó un lugar en el codiciado Campeonato Mundial. Este campeonato se celebrará el 19 de abril en Houston, Texas, donde CCA competirá con más de 1000 equipos de robótica de casi 60 países.

El tema de la competencia de este año era “Reefscape”, centrado en la preservación del océano. Los equipos debían recolectar coral (tubos blancos) y colocarlos en cuatro niveles de un arrecife, recolectar algas (bolas de acero) en sus procesadores y redes, y colgar sus robots en jaulas de barcaza.

Para completar estas complejas tareas, los equipos diseñaron una serie de mecanismos especializados, incluyendo elevadores para elevar el coral hasta 101 cm de altura, detectores de luz para alinearlos con códigos QR, pinzas para levantar y colocar algas y coral, y ruedas especializadas para la movilidad.

Cada equipo se dividió en responsabilidades como programación, trabajo mecánico, conducción de robots y operaciones comerciales. Anthony Sánchez, estudiante del equipo Pumas Mecánicos de la Escuela Western International, explicó que los miembros del equipo, desde los 14 años, suelen aprender por sí mismos lenguajes de programación complejos como JavaScript y C++ para programar sus robots. El equipo de conducción, que se asegura de que el robot se mueva con rapidez y eficacia por la arena, utiliza controladores de juego y joysticks transformados para moverlo. El equipo mecánico utiliza software sofisticado como Diseño Asistido por Computadora (CAD) y herramientas como fresadoras, pestillos, taladros y sierras para fabricar y ensamblar las características del robot. Por último, el equipo de negocios se centra en la recaudación de fondos, la solicitud de subvenciones, el diseño de productos y la difusión.

Fernando, miembro del equipo REC’in Crew de la Corporación de Desarrollo Hispano de Detroit, comentó que las diversas oportunidades en robótica permiten a los miembros del equipo “transicionar entre diferentes partes del equipo y descubrir lo que les apasiona”.

Mahmoud Badih, profesor de matemáticas en la Academia Hope of Detroit, enfatizó la importancia de la variedad de habilidades necesarias para competir, y explicó que los estudiantes del suroeste de Detroit necesitan más exposición a diferentes oportunidades profesionales. Él dice: “La mayoría de los estudiantes dicen que quieren trabajar en la construcción con su familia, pero luego se les presenta la ingeniería, la programación y los negocios”.

Para muchos estudiantes, la robótica les abrió las puertas a nuevos intereses profesionales. Marisol es miembro de los Tigres Tecnológicos de AOA y será la primera de su familia en ir a la universidad. Ella dice que la robótica despertó su interés por la ingeniería, una carrera que espera seguir después de graduarse. De igual manera, Anthony Sánchez, del equipo de la Escuela Western International, pudo trabajar tanto en la mecánica como en los negocios de la robótica. Esto, dice, le ayudó a darse cuenta de que si bien la ingeniería no era para él, los negocios sí lo eran.

Además de la introducción a la carrera profesional y el desarrollo de habilidades, la robótica también permite a los estudiantes desarrollar “habilidades para la vida”, dice Marisol Techworth, Directora de Participación Juvenil en DHDC. Ella explica que la robótica ayuda a los jóvenes a desarrollar habilidades esenciales como “superar el fracaso, resolver problemas y comunicarse y colaborar con los demás”.

Muchos estudiantes también han usado la robótica como una forma de contribuir a la comunidad. Tania Barba y Alex Montesinos son miembros del equipo Kinematic Wolves de Detroit Cristo Rey y ayudaron a fundar Motor City Alliance. A través de este programa, ayudan a ampliar el acceso a la educación STEM y robótica a más de 100 equipos de robótica en Detroit. Facilitan programas y campamentos de verano de una semana de duración, enseñan impresión 3D, diseño de computadoras y programación, y colaboran con las juntas y consejos del Departamento de Escuelas Públicas de Detroit para promover más clases y programas STEM en las escuelas secundarias y preparatorias de Detroit.

Estos estudiantes no solo construyen robots; construyen y fortalecen el futuro de nuestra comunidad. Al dedicar incontables horas a su oficio, a veces trabajando hasta las 7 o 9 p. m. después de clases, desarrollan habilidades esenciales para el éxito. Su alojamiento Los logros resaltan la importancia de invertir en nuestros jóvenes y creer en su potencial.

Las Águilas Aztech de César Chávez son solo un ejemplo de cómo el apoyo, la mentoría y la financiación pueden cambiar la vida de los jóvenes. Han trabajado incontables horas para ganarse un lugar en el Campeonato Mundial. Ahora competirán en Houston, Texas, el 19 de abril junto con otros 1,000 equipos de robótica. EL CENTRAL los seguirá en su camino y compartirá su experiencia.
